The Family I Lost
Here are some book group discussion questions for my novel The Family I Lost.
1. Do you think Amy is a bad mother? Does she have any redeeming qualities? Why do you think she behaves the way she does towards Tilly?
2. Is it reckless of Lisa to take up the opportunity to get closer to Amy and Amy’s children? Why do you think she does it?
3. There are a lot of secrets in The Family I Lost. How do these affect Amy and Lisa and their relationships with other people?
4. What do you think Amy and Lisa are looking for, or missing? Is this the same as what they need? What are the biggest threats they face, and how do they overcome them?
5. Could The Family I Lost be described as a ghost story? How important are past events in Lisa and Amy’s present?
